Working
in the design industry, you are inevitably to do some prototypes, of course,
that is also inseparable from a variety of tools. A handy tool makes a handy
man. Good prototype software can greatly improve your efficiency, but each tool
has its own advantages and disadvantages. There is a list of prototyping
tools/apps based on browser, PC, and mobile devices. In order to
better help you make the right judgments, and less detours, today I will
introduce the product features of some commonly used prototyping tools.

Despite
the variety of prototyping tools whose functionality and usability are
constantly developing in recent years, but Axure is still the ace among these
prototyping tools. It’s a very good prototyping design software on Windows,
also the first choice for predesign work.

As an emerging rapid prototyping
tool, Mockplus provides a large number of components and icons, and it’s user-friendly
design helps users starting design quickly. The interaction design in Mockplus
is fully visualized, that's WYSIWYG. It allows your to add page link and
interaction for components with simple drag-and-drop. Simple, convenient
visualization operation greatly simplifies the interaction design, also improving
the work efficiency.

JustinMind is mainly focusing on
high-fidelity prototyping. Compared with other interactive prototyping tools,
Justinmind is more suitable for mobile device (iOS & Android) prototypes.
If you want to create a complex high-fidelity prototype, you can try it.

InVision
is a web-based interactive prototyping tool. It can easily achieve a very good
collaboration between team members, gather feedback to help designers quickly

Proto.io
is a very powerful web app with a lot of features. However, it needs to set by
dragging and dropping of each step, click the button, and adjust the value in
the options. Sometimes it’s a bit difficult to find some of the settings you
